I remember once upon time on here when some used a lack of sanctioning at the AGM as proof the league wasn’t happening. Here we are now and the sanctioning happens in a little seen tweet and we have two games under our collective belts

Two Solitudes 5/24, recap of expansion talk http://sportspodcastingnetwork.com/2019/04/24/the-two-solitudes-soccer-podcast-free-preview-canpl-expansion-talk/MW
-Laval/Montreal-Bunbury top choice but other group. 2020 start most likely
-NB rumours our there. Not Moncton though. Isn’t ownership interest there. Saint John could be it with Moosehead partnership announced. Biggest corporate center in the province (Irving, McCains). Fredericton government city, transient population would make it difficult. Important for another eastern team with Halifax being so isolated. Maybe 2021
-no real word on Quebec City yet but would make sense if there are two groups interested in Montreal to try and convince one to go there for the natural rivalry. Talked up Laval in general
-Ontario team close is out of left field. Pickering or Durham (Oshawa) region. Might be closer to 2021 than 2020. Possible connected to other real estate deals/renovation to stadium and further development of other projects. Big money name attached (billionaire) Around Church/Bailey area, near power plant/lake, possibly as part of Woodbine development.
-rumblings of western GTA (Halton/Oakville) interest but nothing concrete yet. Maybe 2021. Brought up the Caldwell hiring
-KW still in the mix. Barry McLean is figurehead/involved heavily but stadium issue holding back. 2021 or 2022 play
-London and Windsor in play but long term and not hearing much
-Saskatchewan (most likely Saskatoon) further along. Figures 2020 likely
-his guess would be 2020-Durham/Pickering, Saskatoon, Montreal/Laval
-thinks 2 teams a year for 3-4 years until hit 16

I took Montreal to be separate from the other groups he mentioned. It wouldn’t be Montreal if they already had a natural rival as he said unless he’s counting York. I think he meant there were four teams closer than others. Guess we’ll know Thursday

Recap
Duane Rollins CPL expansion bits from Soccer Today 4/23
-full details on Two Solitudes later this week. Montreal could be ready summer season but will wait most likely to avoid confusion
-no update on Ottawa. If sanctioning revoked odds are the team would fold up shop. But market they want into
-hearing good things about three other markets, two barely discussed. One on the west, discussed a lot. Chelsea fan out west from the Voyageurs would be happy (whatever that means)
-Other two would be rivals. One for a team that doesn’t have one (Halifax? My guess) and not a city that has been talked about a lot?
Followed tonight by

Random check in to see what the board was saying. Anyways the account quoted the Laval fan group who quoted an article of the trial in Laval. Bunbury‘s interest is we’ll documented but I’m skeptical for now. It’s easy to throw out random predictions/“rumours” based on general knowledge and hit some to look legit
